A Dedicated server is a server that has no other users. It is dedicated to you, and only you. You have full control over your dedicated server, and there are no limits on the number of games you can play, or how many people can connect to your Dedicated Server at any one time.
Valheim Can’t Join Dedicated Server
I have the game from steam, but I can’t join my dedicated server. It’s a windows firewall issue. I’ve tried opening port 28016 and forwarding the port, but it still won’t work. I need help getting this fixed.

Valheim Server Troubleshooting
Hi, I’m a fan of Valheim, but I have some troubles with the dedicated server.
I have created a dedicated server and I can connect to it. However, my friends can’t join me. They get an error saying “Failed to connect to the dedicated server”.
I have tried everything from changing ports to forwarding ports but nothing works!
The following are the steps I’ve followed:
1- Installed the Dedicated Server from Steam (ver 0.4.4)
2- Changed the port to 27015 (both TCP and UDP)
3- Added myself as an administrator by going into Steam\SteamApps\common\Valhalla Hills\Configs\ServerConfigs\adminList.json and adding myself as admin by editing the text file and entering my steam id in between the brackets next to adminUserId field (I entered mine as “0”).
I have a dedicated valheim server for my friend and i want to be able to connect to it. I’m seeing some errors in the logs and i don’t know how to fix that.
I’ve already tried changing the port, but nothing seems to work.
My friend can’t even connect manually anymore.
Here are some of the error messages:
[16-12-11 21:14:50] [Server thread/ERROR]: Failed to execute command ‘gamemode 0’ in ‘valheim’: Error while executing command ‘gamemode 0’: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) at org.bukkit.plugin.java.(JavaPluginLoader$1).execute(JavaPluginLoader$1).call(JavaPluginLoader$1..java:264)[spigot-R0].main([Ljava/lang/String;)[spigot-R0].
I have a dedicated server that I set up on my own, but it’s not working correctly.
I can’t connect to the server from my computer. When I try to connect, it says “Failed to connect to session”. When I try to join on my friend’s computer, he gets the same error message, and when he tries to join on his phone, it says “Failed to connect to session”. This is a dedicated server for Valheim, so we can’t use any other servers.
I’ve tried:
Updating Flash Player (it was at version 17.0.0.134)
Enabling/disabling firewall (the game seems to be running with no firewall)
Uninstalling/reinstalling the game client
I tried to join a friend on their dedicated server, but it says that I can’t connect. I don’t know why this is happening. We have the same firewall settings, and it worked fine before.
I’ve tried disabling my firewall and antivirus software, but it didn’t help.
I’m running Windows 10 64-bit.
Valheim server is an open source game server. It uses a client-server architecture where the game runs on a separate computer from the client, which displays the game and accepts input from players. The two communicate over a network using a custom protocol. This is in contrast to most modern games, which use a client-side application or a web-based frontend, which runs in the same process as the game itself.
I have a dedicated server for CS:GO and I can’t connect to the server. It’s a valheim dedicated server, the problem is that when I try to connect it says “Cannot connect to the server”.
The problem is that when I first installed the game, my friend could connect without any problems, but then after a while he couldn’t connect anymore.
I tried reinstalling windows firewall and it didn’t help at all.
Is there something else that needs to be done?
Error: “Valheim Dedicated Server cannot be started”
Reason: This is a common error that can occur for a number of different reasons. Most commonly it’s just due to a firewall blocking the dedicated server application from starting.
Solution: Make sure your firewall is not blocking the dedicated server application from running. You can do this by adding an exception for the dedicated server application in your firewall settings.
You need to open up the ports on your firewall.
I will show you how to do this in Windows and Linux.
Windows:
You can follow these steps:
1. Open up the Windows Firewall. You can find it in Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Firewall.
2. Click on Advanced settings at the bottom of the window, then click Inbound Rules on the left column. You should see a list of rules (if there are none, create one for yourself) as shown in the following picture:
3. Click New Rule… on top of this window and choose Port from the list of options (in our case we want to allow incoming connections from 192.168.*.*). Then specify what kind of connection it is (UDP or TCP). Then type in port number which you want to allow access through firewall (it’s 2310 by default for Valheim Dedicated Server), then click Next Step button and set Action Type to Allow the connection, then click Finish button at last step (see picture below):
The firewall is blocking the port that Minecraft uses to connect to the server. You can change the firewall settings in Windows or MacOS so that it allows connections to the port you need.
If you’re using a Linux computer, use this guide instead.
Windows firewall settings
To open your Windows firewall, follow these steps:
Go to Start > Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Firewall. Click Change settings. Select Turn Windows Firewall on or off, and then click OK. In the left pane, click Allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall. Under Allowed apps and features, select Change Settings. Follow the steps in the wizard to add Minecraft: Java Edition as an exception under Private and Public networks. You can also add exceptions individually for each network type (Private or Public).
